3 years ago I had a goal to make $3k a month by the end of the year with my eCommerce business. But then I journaled and asked myself the questions: What if I had to make 10x as much, meaning $30k a month?


Then I came up with a plan and asked myself, why not follow this exact plan?


Long story short, instead of making $30k I ended up making 'only' $22k which could be seen as a failure, but it was way better than shooting for the $3k initially.


Journaling and asking the right questions is so underrated, so thanks so much for teaching more about this topic!

I love this format.
Not wasting any time, no sponsor messages.
Making it and helping others do the same it's just awesome.
This is going to be a timeless masterpiece.

This is so true! Asking questions is your number one sales tool. My first question is always... “So... What do you think?” After having already welcomed them into my art gallery and having paid them a genuine compliment about something they are wearing. Then my goal is to help them find what they are looking with follow up questions. This is a million dollar formula all day.

Thank you Patrick for your willingness to teach!!

Questions are conscious, and answers are unconscious. We can control questions but we respond spontaneously to the task of answering, even if we are doing so only in our head (we read a question in a brochure and it gets us thinking). The unconscious self is emotional and that’s where the sale is made. Amazing video.

[IanWong]

GREAT VIDEO! In a lot of your interviews I saw you asked GREAT Questions and I wanted to know how you did it but this video did it for me!

Questions lead to the answers. I'm a sales coach and one of the main reasons some salespeople struggle is bc they don't ask enough of the right questions. Questions that create urgency and questions that uncover pain. Great video Patrick

Ask the right questions to the right people. It's all in the mind.

Amazing content at Valuetainment! Thank you for sharing! 😊

I just want to thank you for this one. I am about to make my cold calls for the day and just this line alone has given me better insight. A lot of times I am in my head at work worried about having the answer and now I will focus on asking the right question. Thanks for your servant leadership!

What a timing Pat 😃 I have spent the last month educating myself about that specific subject. I own a graphic design agency and I want to not only improve the closing numbers but also to learn more about my clients. The final goal is to impress my clients, first by asking great questions (which makes them think that I really know what I’m doing) but also getting them great designs - BASED ON THEIR TRUE NEEDS, not only based on what they think they want but more of what they truly need but didn’t know yet.
